Chairman's Award

Another strong year on the field sees InEight win the Chairman’s Award for 2021! The past two years have seen InEight running their Footy Colours Day virtually due to local restrictions. Though the team still managed to run a successful awareness campaign in the fortnight prior to their event culminating in a virtual get together with sports-based trivia and a raffle!

Award
bend-tech group
The team at Bend-tech Group win this year’s Coach's Award. They started the day perfectly with a BBQ breakfast provided by the culture team!

Most Adaptive Game Play
christ church grammar school
The Most Adaptive Game Play award goes to Christ Church Grammar. COVID-19 had many of us separated physically but they enjoyed a virtual Footy Colours Day. Starting the day with an online “warm up” video starring the PE Teachers and then making good use of the Footy Colours Day resources. The CCGS team also invented many other games, and we may just have to request the ideas for the Footy Colours Day Tips & Tools centre!
Team of the Year Award
icon cancer centre
We are super proud to announce the winner of Team of the Year as Icon Cancer Centre Windsor Gardens. The team held an extraordinary fun-filled day for staff and patients in both medical and radiation oncology.
